my local package store in the small town in Michigan i live (45-50 min NW of detroit) had it restocked last week. not a huge mover but far from any target demographic the company ever had. owner had no idea how many cases the distributor had but said they had a small number of customers who go through it regularly.
company went dark on Twitter and then came back last week and then dark again. they still appear to be doing promo work so the lights are still on. last event on Twitter was Aug 7 and they had several tweets last week on Wodka feed.
my guess at this point is it is all tied up with Consilium. company stopped reporting and they were into this for $4-5MM.probably have had a couple lifelines since. distillery looked like it should start contributing significantly to top line with contract packaging. since consilium is primary shareholder/lender - my guess is they are looking to find a buyer and keep expenses very tight until then. if they were looking to continue, i would expect the promotions and SM to be considerably more active.
hopefully they pull it out. thought the brand/company had a lot going for them in terms of quality, pricing, marketing, and background. guess Dale got a little too comfortable and/or in over his head with other people's money.
